n Edgar Dean Hamman, 31, theft of property - $7,500.

Pope County Sheriff's Office investigator Rowdy Sweet testified Hamman was arrested as part of an investigation of a vehicle reported stolen on April 23 from a property on State Highway 164. The vehicle was located at River Valley Recycling, where it had been sold for scrap. Hamman's signature was on the sale papers, Sweet testified.

When arrested, Sweet said Hamman told officers he had driven by the car several times and decided to take it, even though he did not have permission to do so.

At his bond hearing, Hamman told Judge Don Bourne he had been convicted of "quite a few" felonies previously and is currently on probation for a prior theft of property conviction.
